Being Inspired and Inspiring Others

This term our focus word is inspire. We've watched clips of Nick Vujicic and think he is definitely a person who is inspiring and who inspires others. What do you think?

I feel that his disability does not have a bad effect on his life because he is showing people to never give up and he doesn't think about the negatives. He thinks about the positives, he shows resilience and courage and his friends just looked past the disability and so did his parents. He says to never give up on anything that you set your mind on. and I thought today that if a guy with no arms and legs can go out and play sport that if I start something and set my mind on it I probably could too.

I was amazed by Nick. Nick's message is 'never give up'. I believe Nick can do anything he sets his mind to.

When I watched the video of Nick it reminded me that I think of the negative side but when Nick thought of the negative side he moved to the positive side.

Yesterday when I watched Nick's video it made me think of how important it is to never give up.

When I saw the video about Nick, who has no arms or legs I thought he was amazing. He never gave up! I thought that I can do anything and never give up and don't be negative to other people. I also learnt that you should enjoy life and make the most of what we have got. Never give up on your dream and try your hardest!

He can kick a ball and pick up a phone. He made me think that I can do things that seem impossible and I can succeed in life.

I think that if he can do the things that he did, even with a disability I should do more in life.

Nick loves himself for who he is and said he wouldn't want arms and legs. Nick inspired me to try my best and never give up when life gets hard. I think that if he can do the things that he did, even with a disability I should do more in life.

I watched Nick who was born without arms and legs swim, play sports and jump of a diving board. He inspired me to think more about the things I have that other people don't. Some of those things I tell myself I can't do them but I think if he can, I can. I just have to believe in myself and try. I have no excuses for saying I can't. I felt empathy for his mum and dad because imagine how they felt when they weren't sure if he would even survive and if they were going to bring their baby home.

I feel inspired by Nick Vujicic and the way he is just an average guy like all of us. He told us we ARE special and we ARE worth it and never give up! He always looked for the best in life and it makes me want to imitate and be the same.

Nick has lived his whole life with no arms and no legs and it was hard for his Mum and Dad. That made me think that most kids his age don't do things because they don't have to do it but Nick wanted to do everything. Nick inspires everyone to love life the way they are. I want to love life the way it is.

Bonnie said...

I want to be like Nick because he showed me that he loves his life and he never gives up. I was impressed that he could swim.

Kayla said...

I was happy for Nick because he loves life how it is and that nothing can stop him from doing what he loves. That made me think that anybody can do anything if they want to.

Shelby said...

I want to love life and live it to the fullest like Nick does. Nick is my inspiration and he is amazing. I think he is a great guy and he is telling us to live life to the fullest and love life even if you have a disability. Never bully anyone, everyone's a human and they deserve to be treated with empathy, respect and loyalty. No one deserves to be treated bad, rudely or horribly.

Watching Nick showed me that if you fail don't give up just keep trying and you'll succeed. So just believe in yourself and you can do anything.

Nick's message inspires me to not give up. He had no legs and arms and he could do all the normal things like swimming, sports and riding a horse. The main thing he has learnt is to never give up and if you have a chance to do it keep on trying until you get there and accomplish it.

Today I felt empathy for Nick, who has no arms or legs, because he accepted life how it is and he never gave up. I learnt to keep on trying and to persist and love life how it is. I think it would be hard to have a child with no arms or legs and I think it would be hard to adapt to a child like that. Nick's story inspired me because he kept saying "If you fail, what do you do? Try again!" Now whenever I fail I'm always going to try again.

Ryan said...

When I saw Nick I thought at first he would get bullied but when he was at school I appreciated he was accepted into the school just like the normal children. He never gave up and his message is if you fail, try again. When he was at school he showed the other children he could run, go fast on his wheel chair, kick a ball for someone to play catch, play music and pick up a phone. This made me think if he can do all of that with a little chicken wing...if he can do all that then I can as well.

I felt heart broken and had sympathy for Nick but I learned you can choose what you do and that you can be anyone you want to be. This made me feel awesome and made me feel that what you do impacts on anything and that how you act is how you relate to others so have hope in yourself and you will come a long way. So...difficult yes-impossible No, so there you have it! How you respond is how people respond so have empathy for yourself and also for others. How you treat others is how you get treated back.So seeing Nick made me think that what you get in life you should not take for granted.
